The maker is Ford & Sons who were founded in 1893 and changed their name to Crownford Ltd from 1938. They continued until modern times.

Your mark is is the Standard Crownford mark from the 1930's and was continued without alteration under the new structure in 1938. Another mark was designed in 1961, so presumably your mark might well have been used up until then.

The other numbers are to do with either pattern numbers, decorating marks or other production details. I have no answer to what these mean precisely.

Teapot with same mark
by: Rita

I have a teapot with the same mark (different numbers obviously), but I have been struggling much like OP to find information on that particular mark design, or even seen it on anything but this Urn that OP posted.

The artwork and the overall design (Im naively and blindly thinking art deco??? If I could have that confirmed, or by all means make a fool of me by correcting me) but the urn is similar to my teapot and give the appearance of being individual pieces hand painted rather than a setting??? Is there anywhere I go to find out more. My Autistic brain will not let go now, I crave information.

Thank you in advance

Rita
